21
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:20.319
But I wanted to do a special episode today walking

More Intervieter Stabler, we are going to do a little.
52
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:59.759
Review hero of the new song tethered.
53
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:16.560
By Dan Stract, So I'll just kind of follow you
54
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:18.000
and then just call out the change.
55
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:19.639
And go to a G to a D to a
56
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:20.800
C G D C.
57
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:23.800
T D f.
58
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:34.199
H.
59
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:50.520
And that's how it started.
60
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:54.039
That Dan and I got together in his at his
61
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:57.879
house back and I think it was March, and I
62
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:00.280
wanted to work on a song, write a song together.
63
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:03.919
After doing a couple of tracks on the Detours record
64
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:06.280
where he played guitar and did some backing vocals on
65
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:09.520
songs I had written, we talked about writing one together.
66
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:14.400
So that's what came out of the first session over
67
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:17.000
at his house. That little snippet there, that's that's where
68
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:19.439
it began. He was playing piano, I was playing his
69
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:24.759
Nashville strung acoustic guitar, had that guitar part, and he
70
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:28.279
was playing piano to it. As time went on, it
71
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:29.560
morphed and changed.
72
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:29.920
You know.
73
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:32.439
It went from does this sound like Tears for Fears?
74
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:36.480
To wow, this is kind of radio head sounding? To
75
00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:41.160
taken that away? And it took a lot of twists
76
00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:42.040
and turns.
77
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:57.079
So fully line immitized by all the lies we shan
78
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:04.439
hailed in No change, They're pulled Tad Lack of Bird
79
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:05.319
on the Street.
80
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:11.920
So I took that little bit home into the studio
81
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:14.560
and started working on some ideas which you just heard
82
00:05:14.639
--> 00:05:18.360
right there, added some electrics and some bass and some
83
00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:20.959
different things to it. Sent it over to Dan and said,
84
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:27.120
this is coming out a little bitter and angry at
85
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:29.879
the state of the world, and I'm kind of digging it.
86
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:32.720
And he said, let me see what I can do
87
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:33.120
to it.
88
00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:45.720
If you'll come up bet you Beta, come correct, you
89
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:49.959
playing Russian relent you Beta know what?
90
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:51.439
Two weeks bect.
91
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:15.720
Dan brought over that, brought over a keyboard, plugged that
92
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:18.560
thing in and it had that crazy sound that you
93
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:21.000
hear right there. Plus we did some acoustics stuff on
94
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:24.560
there that ended up not making the cut ultimately, but
95
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:27.079
as kind of an interesting part of the journey.
96
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:30.079
And really enjoyed what he came up with.
97
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:32.759
We were really happy with that sound that came out
98
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:35.319
of the out of the guitar amp that we had
99
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:40.920
that keyboard plugged into. And he had some ideas for
100
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:43.759
the last verse. There was a different last verse that
101
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:44.399
one liked.
102
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:46.360
This We really.
103
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:51.000
This lafoom.
104
00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:59.399
Takes so little time to settle the score.
105
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:07.480
They bad well.
106
00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:18.519
JOm a strong as wisted, running out of paper to bleed.
107
00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:30.839
Dan came up with the new new ending in the
108
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:36.240
last verse, sent me a phone snippet of it and
109
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:39.560
it was super cool, and then we started to talk
110
00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:40.360
about what we.
111
00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:42.839
Wanted to do with it. So who's going to play
112
00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:45.000
on it? Because at this point the demo is he and.
113
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:48.040
I, and he had the idea of getting a high
114
00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:50.959
end stress drummer Mark involved and then seeing if high
115
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:54.639
on stress guitarist Chad would like to record it, because
116
00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:58.519
Chad records high on stress records, including Hold Me In
117
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:01.959
and this new one, and got ahold of the guys
118
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:04.839
to see if they were interested in helping us out
119
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:07.079
with the song we came up with, and they were,
120
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:10.800
so we headed over to Triple T Studios here in
121
00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:14.720
the Twin
Cities Chad studio and got to work on
122
00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:17.759
it and it instantly fell into place. I think we
123
00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:23.800
had maybe three sessions to really wrap things up and
124
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:29.199
do some arranging. So at the end we finished it up.
125
00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:29.879
We had.
126
00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:35.080
I was singing lead vocals and acoustic guitar, did a
127
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:39.360
little electric guitar on there as well. Dan it was
128
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:45.879
co lead vocals and he played bass and keys and
129
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:48.919
electric guitar.
130
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:50.720
And what else.
131
00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:55.720
Mark Deverage played drums, Chad played guitar, electric guitar, and
132
00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:59.200
then we had a full kind of choir moment at
133
00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:03.080
the end, and that was all of us singing minus Mark.
134
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:06.519
It was actually Chad on the mic. Dan and I
135
00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:10.000
and Chad's wife Kayla I asked to jump on as well.
136
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:14.759
We needed the whole group to really finalize this thing.
137
00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:19.600
So without further ado, I give you the finished product.
138
00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:22.399
This song is called Tethered. It was co written by
139
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:25.360
Dan and I and it's available on band camp.
140
00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:27.639
All proceeds go to the ac LU.
141
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:33.200
If you want to listen to it on streaming, it's there, Apple, Spotify, YouTube.
142
00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:35.039
All of the all of the places.
143
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:40.320
So give it a listen, give it to share, share
144
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:41.840
it with friends, whatever you want to do.
145
00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:46.600
We're down with that. So here it is the finished product.
146
00:09:47.039 --> 00:10:23.799
Tether sometide the police like.
147
00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:28.559
Hypotized by all those flies.
148
00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:36.679
We shout halding no kings. Therefore tied like a bird
149
00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:37.120
on the.
150
00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:57.399
Streets, your hands are tie.
151
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:00.559
He wrote a now out.
152
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:07.879
From being inside, we shout down with the king, simple
153
00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:10.000
tie lack.
154
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:11.200
A bird on the streets.
155
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:28.279
Know how to store, rebuild, the thing you don't. You
156
00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:37.120
gotta on that hand the play, but you won't if
157
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:41.200
can got out. Ben Chapeta come correct.
158
00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:48.399
And Russian relent Chappetta.
159
00:11:48.039 --> 00:12:19.720
Know what to respect.
160
00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:31.440
Won't stay in long when the prisents of dawn the
161
00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:33.919
glass ceiling shine.
162
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:35.600
All over the floor.
163
00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:48.879
These changes firs, and I learn how to say noting.
164
00:12:49.080 --> 00:13:04.480
Now the flock is just saying the ring to take
165
00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:04.919
bi
